Slow Down!!!

Please someone slow the clocks down.  Things are still moving way too fast!!! I love these boys and want to enjoy every minute.  Okay, life isn't perfect, we don't sleep, and Hubby is working like crazy but I wouldn't change anything for the world.  We were meant to be a family and it was worth everything.  The only negative thoughts I have is that I will never have a baby again.  I know I am being greedy and the reality is another child would be too expensive and a ton of work but who lives in reality.....haha.  Seriously, I am just happy with these miracles and so happy that we got to have twins.
Fynn has surpassed his younger formerly bigger brother in weight. On Friday we had our three month appointment and Fynn weighed 11.7 pounds and Hudson is 11.4.  They aren't sleeping through the night but we have had a couple of 6 hour stretches.  Luckily they feed quickly at night and go right back to bed.  For the most part they are super happy babies but we do have what we refer to as "THE WITCHING HOUR".  It actually lasts closer to 2 hours and consists of the boys being fussy and having a hard time knowing what they want.  We try feeding them, changing them, rocking them and none of the tricks work. It's not that they are screaming or crying the entire time but they just aren't happy boys.  Eventually they just tire themselves out but it sure keeps us on our toes.  I wish I knew the trick to settle them during this time but I am sure it will work itself out.

  3. You may want to try reading the book On Becoming Babywise by Gary Ezzo. I found this book very helpful. My twins are 14 weeks now and have been sleeping through the night since they were 10 1/2 weeks. It's great! They also have a witching hour too in the evening and I found that since they are getting older they require an earlier bedtime. We used to put them to bed at 10:00, but now we do 9:00 and that helps. They still sleep until 8 am too! I really hope you can get your little ones to sleep through the night too! I keep mine on the same schedule and feed them every three hours, even if they aren't crying yet for a bottle. This gets in all of their calories during the day so they'll sleep through the night. Good luck! Your boys are sooo cute!!!
